3.3. Connecting Cables to the Appliance¶

Note

For more details on configuring the network infrastructure, see the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.0 Administrator’s Guide.

To prepare the appliance for configuration, do the following:

  1. Connect the appliance to the electrical outlets using the supplied power cables.

  2. Connect network interfaces #1 of all nodes (1 on the diagram) to a switch (2 on the diagram) with access to a dedicated subnet for your software-defined infrastructure. The nodes have preconfigured IP addresses: 10.20.20.11 to 10.20.20.15. Connect the admin laptop (3 on the diagram) to the same switch.

  3. (Optional) Connect the out-of-band management network interfaces of each node and the chassis (1 on the diagram) to a switch with access to the IPMI subnet for your appliance (2 on the diagram). The nodes have preconfigured IPMI IP addresses: 10.20.30.11 to 10.20.30.15. The chassis has the preconfigured IPMI IP address 10.20.30.10. Connect the admin laptop (3 on the diagram) to the same switch.
